This traditional/spiritual was recently featured in the movie "Because of Winn-Dixie" and has also been done by several older blues/jazz musicians.  However, I've been unable to find all the lyrics for it.  Can you help?  Thanks & Blessings!

GLORY GLORY (HALLELUJAH) (SINCE I LAID MY BURDEN DOWN)
Traditional Negro Spiritual

REFRAIN:
Glory glory, hallelujah
Since I lay my burden down
Glory glory, hallelujah

Since I lay my burden down

All my sickness will be over
When I lay my burden down
All my sickness will be over
When I lay my burden down

All my troubles will be over
When I lay my burden down
All my troubles will be over
When I lay my burden down

Lord, I'm feeling so much better
Since I lay my burden down
Lord, I'm feeling so much better
Since I lay my burden down


ALTERNATE STYLE FOR REFRAIN:
Glory glory, (Glory glory!) hallelujah (hallelujah!)

More verses:

Sometimes I feel, I feel like shouting
Since I lay my burden down
Sometimes I feeal, I feel like shouting
Since I lay my burden down.

You can take the whole world, but give me Jesus
Since I lay my burden down
You can take the whole world, but give me Jesus
Since I lay my burden down

I will hold now, hold my mother
since I laid my burden down
I will hold now, hold my mother
since I laid my burden down

I can fight now, for the rivers
since I laid my burden down
I will fight now, for the rivers
since I laid my burden down

We will rise up, us feral people
we have laid your burden down
we will rise up, passionate people
we have laid your burden down
